Customer Reviews

A Refreshing Read!!

I was very happy to discover that this was not your "average diet book". Definitely no rigid diet guidelines to follow here. Instead of telling you to replace foods with lowfat-chemical-filled versions, Bergen offers healthier, happier advice to maintain your weight and self confidence while in a relationship. I could totally relate to her dating/dieting woes! I can't wait to try out these tips so I can finally get back into my skinny jeans!

a non-dieters diet book

I have read a LOT of diet books that I can barely get through because they are so boring, just a lot of the same info repeated over and over. But this book is actually a good, funny read, and not inflated with a lot of other junk. I related to the author' situation--my boyfriend (now husband) and his entire family had really poor eating habits and I gained weight throughout our relationship as I picked up their bad habits. It is nice knowing that I am not alone, and the advice in this book is practical, stuff I can really use. It has already inspired me to lose two pounds and cook better meals for my stepdaughter. This is the kind of diet book we need more of--one that focuses on health, and actually works. Love it!

Fun, informative and humorous

This book stands out from the others by how it's written. It's fun AND informative, which is a welcome change from having only one or the other. I really enjoyed the recipes and plan to use them now that my BF and I are both trying to drop a few pounds that we gained from constantly eating out at fast food restaurants. Thank you Jenna for this helpful and humorous book!

Must share with a friend!

Fun, cleverly written, this book is full of great tips! A perfect mix of the authors own hilarious experiences and research-based information. This book helped me to reexamine my own relationship with food and provided great advice on how to adopt new, healthier strategies for me and my "big fat boyfriend."
